EZbass set for launch in 2020

[TTBOT]

Umeå, Sweden, October 29, 2019

As already announced earlier in the year Swedish software manufacturer Toontrack is working on EZbass, the next core product in the company’s EZ Line. The line already includes widely popular titles such as EZkeys, EZmix 2 as well as the world’s number one-selling drum production tool, EZdrummer 2. In 2020, Toontrack finally adds the much-anticipated EZbass.

“This is shaping up to be a product that really adapts the same ‘EZ’ philosophy as the other products in the line. It’s the perfect complement to EZdrummer 2, EZkeys and EZmix 2,” says Erik Phersson, Toontrack’s Head of Software Development.

As already announced, EZbass will be a software instrument for bass guitar. In addition to carefully sampled bass tones, it will include MIDI as well as a host of features to aid the user in quickly and effortlessly adding bass to their songs.

Toontrack is currently celebrating its 20-year anniversary as a company. It all started in 1999 with the then groundbreaking release of Drumkit From Hell, the world’s first multi-sampled drum library featuring individual microphone bleed. It revolutionized the market and from there, Toontrack has continuously grown to now being one of the premier software and sound library developers in the industry.

More information on EZbass will be made available in 2020.

Well that’s very much disappointing. I have waited 3 Q’s for the release in Q4 and my songs need bass input. I didn’t buy an other bass-player plug-in, but I can’t wait forever. Can Toontrack give a date for launching EZ-bass?

Hello,

I am awaiting EzBass to complete the rhythm section and would love to see you guys come up with an eBook on composing and arranging with rhythm section as applied to Ez Keys, Ez Drummer and now Ez Bass as that would address the fact that there is no ebook on composing and arranging with rhythm section on the market.

Well, this sounds like it could be a good product, eventually.

I noticed they didn’t even say which quarter? “In 2020, Toontrack finally adds the much-anticipated EZbass.” 🙂

Most of the promo wasn’t even about EZBass. It doesn’t instill much confidence. But they have been a great company putting out great product. I hope they haven’t been purchased by some vulture capitalists trying to cash in on Toontrack’s goodwill and our trust in the company.

I am not sure what to think of this product. With the drum kits, they allowed me to play my own patterns on an E-kit making use of SD or EZD, but I could still play the drums myself. With EZ Keys and EZ Bass, anyone can now simply scrape together a prefab song, no skill is required. What’s next, EZ guitar and EZ voice?

I am NOT going to buy it. This has crossed he line of what I think is honest music making.

will it be possible to install EZBass on an offline PC ?

Will you guys make other libraries for EZBASS. A few that I would love to see are Fretless Bass, Acoustic Bass, and Upright Bass… hell some electronic Bass might not even be bad.

Will EZBass feature DI output, or only amped bass output? I’d like to be able to use EZBass to generate my DI bass tracks, but then utilize a third-party (or even EZMix) bass amp to give it the sound & tone I want, rather than be limited to whatever amp & effects settings are available within EZBass itself.

Hello and congrats on the release. I’ve been a Toontrack user for a long time and I knew this was going to be really good. I’m enjoying a lot creating bass lines with EZ Bass and it’s absolutely stunning. I have some feedback regarding a slight issue about stretching notes in the Grid Editor. Basically it’s very hard to grab the end of a note to stretch it. This happens in a Windows 10, Studio One Pro 4.5 as my DAW and two 1080p monitors. I made a quick video to show what the issue looks like on my end: https://youtu.be/apn0Zny564g

Thanks for listening!

best,

EE.
